UMT Participates in the 2010 Hong Kong Education & Career Expo

The University of Management and Technology participated in 2010 Education & Career Expo at Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre from 4-7 Feb 2010. Nearly 5,000 attendees were present at the exhibition.

At the exhibition, UMT representatives greeted a large number of people and helped them understand UMT's academic programs.

UMT's DBA Aspirant, Mr Victor Wong was present at the exhibition as the DBA student representative and helped the guests understand the DBA program.

The UMT DBA Seminar for the first cohort was held in Hong Kong Productivity Council on December 19, 2009. Students include executives from HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, Arup and various industries in Asia.

The founder of Sinomonitor, Ms. Maggie Fung was one of the most influential research companies in China, who have fruitful experience in China's New Marketing and Media Study. Through Sinomonitor Corporation, students learned the importance of brand development and how it helped the corporation to implement the new marketing strategy in China.

I think I had made the right choice to enrol the Master in Public Administration of UMT last year. I recall that the reason for studying a master degree in management relates to my career development. I am a clinical staff of a public hospital and I have been involving in management duties for over 10 years. Early last year when my boss was planning my career, he reviewed my academic qualification. As a clinical staff, I always thought that I had already attained the necessary qualification because I had already possessed a M Phil degree and a PHD.

I joined the UMT and studied this course which provided me with everything I needed. It equipped me with profound knowledge in the management field, both in theory and in practice. It widen my horizon and helped me develop my potential and fully utilize my talent. I can now apply my newly attained knowledge to the daily operation in a public organisation. Of course, it fit my personal schedule very well.

"After achieving my Bachelor’s Degree at UMT, I felt that studying at UMT was convenient and suitable for me, being a full time worker, because UMT has provided a flexible learning style of on-line learning. The student can choose the completion time according to your availability."

Subsequently, I continued my MBA program at UMT. It took more than a year to complete the designated courses. In this time period, I have met lots of new classmates who have all become my good friends.

The officers are Sergeant Cheung Kim-fung, and PCs Lau Yuk-fai, Lui Wing-hing, Lau Chi-chung, Wong Chung-yin, Wong Po-chun, Chan Cho-kin, Tsoi Yiu-chung, Wong Kam-wai, Chan Wai-tak, Chan Man-ting and Cheung Po-chi.

"The programme meets the needs of today's busy students. It is flexible, delivered through new and innovative technologies, and allows students to achieve their educational goals outside a traditional classroom setting," said SGT Cheung.

All the 12 officers say they enjoy lifelong learning because they can prepare themselves for the dynamic changes in the law enforcement work in Hong Kong. Lifelong learning also enables them to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing environment and the ever-increasing demands of the public they serve. They also have had an opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge with fellow students from different trades.

At the Graduation Ceremony held at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University earlier, SGT Cheung had the honour of giving a speech as the Graduate Representative on the stage in the presence of the UMT President.
